Bottomcutter Imperial IPA – Bale Breaker Brewing Company

A bottomcutter is a tractor like vehicle used to cut hop vines at a given height. If you would like to see one in action you can find clips here and here. With Bottomcutter IIPA Bale Breaker has come up with an IIPA that is aggressive and fresh. Heavy with pine notes in both aroma and flavor. You can’t get much better than this.


This is the second time I’ve encountered Ekuanot hops in as many reviews. They were also in The Sister. Look for a brew day featuring Ekuanot in the near future.

From the Bale Breaker website:

Double dry-hopped with homegrown Yakima hops, Bottomcutter IIPA may be light in color but is packed with citrus and pine hop character. This Imperial IPA is brewed to finish dry, perfect for the combination of Citra®, Simcoe®, and Ekuanot™ hops. As the bottomcutter is a tractor that leads the topcutter through the fields during harvest, this beer will lead to a new appreciation for our valley’s hops.

ABV: 8.2% IBU: 100 SRM: N/A

Malts: N/A
Hops: Citra, Simcoe, and Ekuanot
